Camera angles and shots

We used a range of different camera angles and shots to portray characters from different perspectives, create different atmospheres and to enhance different scenes. 

1

Extreme close up of the villains hand to show a vast amount of detail but not too much to reveal the villains identity. 

2

Point of view shot from the villains perspective, the blurred reflection displayed on the computer screen comes across as chilling and creepy as well as suggesting a sense of  secrecy. This also allows the viewer to have a clearer idea of who the villain is.

3

A medium long shot of the female victim walking allows the viewer to see the majority of her body to catch all of her movement.

4

A close up of the male villains fist shows detail and draws the viewers attention to the hand. The clenching of the fist creates a chilling atmosphere and displays a sense of anger as well as the suggestion of plotting and planning something. 

5

A high angled close up shot was used when the villains hand if hovering over the time table he uses to see where and when the victim will be.  This high angled shot was used to present vulnerability not on his behalf but on the victim’s behalf as the timetable is representing her life routine, which would be personified and representing her.

6

A tracking shot was used as the villain’s hand running across the banister to allow the viewer to follow his movement. 

7

A low angled close up was used to not only focus on the movement of the villain but to show his dominance.

8

An over the shoulder from the villains perspective helps to establish the position of the villain and to show a suggestion of who the villain is but not revealing his whole identity.

An establishing shot used to show the audience the main setting in the opening sequence, we have set the camera on a tripod and used a panning shot to show the main setting.
